PM Modi talks like jaahil, roadside people, says NCP leader Majeed Memon


New Delhi, Apr 1 (IT): NCP leader Majeed Memon stoked a controversy on Monday saying the Prime Minister speaks like "jaahil, raaste pe chalne wale log".

Speaking to ANI, Majeed Memon said, "Pradhan mantri bhi anpadh, jaahil, raaste pe chalne wale aadmi ki tarah baat karte hai (The PM talks like illiterate, uncultured, roadside people)".

"He is occupying such a high post, he is aware of his Constitutional post. He should know that election for this Constitutional post is not held on the roads," said Majeed Memon.

Memon was speaking on the much-debated topic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking re-election as the PM in a Parliamentary democracy setup where the 543 elected representatives choose the Prime Minister of the country.

Voters in India cannot directly choose their PM like in the Presidential elections in countries like the US.

Majeed Memon is a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP.

A few days ago, reacting to BJP's comment that Congress should contest elections in Pakistan, Memon said BJP should contest elections in Nepal as "chowkidars" will be victorious in the Himalayan nation.

According to an ANI report, Memon said, "If Ram Madhav is saying that Congress would probably win elections in Pakistan if they contest from there, then I would like to give him a piece of advice. All BJP leaders are 'chowkidars' (watchmen) and they should contest elections in Nepal and they will win there."

Congress and NCP have an alliance in Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

    Quite true. The PM of such a Great Country as ours should not stoop to such low levels in his discoure or his utterances. He is now being identified as a habitual liar indulging in falsehoods to score political points. He should learn from Vajpayee if it is not too late. In any case he has lost a large mandate by loosing the Trust of the people with his Jhumla Politics.

    The country is yearning for a change from this five years of Hell under the Modi Sarkar.

    Now Modi will say he is chowkidar of the jaahil and roadside people. Turning every negative statement from opposition into positive for themselves is BJP's election gimmick. Why Modi is holding PM post if he is so serious about being a chowkidaar including that of toilets of whole of India which he will be doing eventually after elections and his Chaddi Bhakths as assistant Chowkidaars of toilets.
